ALEX BRAGG

Alex may have been a late starter to the sport, but he’s taken eventing by storm over the past few years. He didn’t ride in his first CCI3* (now CCI4*) until he was 29 years old and was still considered an amateur rider making his living as a farrier at the time.

He made his four-star (now five-star) debut at Burghley 2016 with two horses. He finished 34th on Redpath Ransome and had a fall with the great Zagreb on the cross-country. Pau has become something of a specialist event for Alex and his top horses, the now retired Zagreb finished fourth there twice (2016 and 2017) and fifth twice (2019 and 2020). Having been produced from a 5 year old by Alex they also secured a wins in the Event Riders Masters at Jardy in 2018 and CCI*3-L at Lignieres in 2020. Alex has appeared on Nations Cup teams, was a reserve for the European Championships in 2017 and more recently represented Team GB at the 7yo Young Horse World Championships at Le Lion D’Angers finishing 4^th with Ardeo Premier.

Alex is based near Chilton Trinity, near Bridgewater and has a great team including wife Simmone and three daughters Ellouise, Sienna and Florence.
